- You can get the source for a C interpreter in two places: where ever
- Al Steven's Dr Dobbs sources are on the net, the Quincy C interpreter;
- and in C: The Complete Reference 3rd Ed. by Herb Schildt. These are
- the only two I know. Neither of these is "good" -- Schildt's takes
- a few liberties with the language to fit the interpreter in
- the space allotted (but full source is there), and doesn't have the
- library at all; Stevens' is better but I've heard you can
- exceed its limits quickly.
-
- I don't know of a C++ intepreter. It might be possible to write one,
- but I wouldn't even want to consider what it would involve. C's easy to
- interpret, but C++ would be very difficult.
